They have a surplus of black boys?


I'm just as confused. First we find out china is not full of smart asians, and now we find out it IS full of blacks...

When they started investing in China they weren't part of china (and not even slated to become part of china) and they have certain legal peculiarities which makes them outsiders yet non outsiders

The problem with the Chinese being aggressive is that they are surrounded by two other large nations (India and Russia) who will not allow their expansionist thinking come into their countries. The days of more men = more success in a militaristic manner are gone. High kills weapons will always keep large armies at bay.

Basically China will fight itself and crumble inwardly. It not going to be very pretty for anyone. Their economy is only strong in appearance, the base is very rocky, and can easily crumble. This is also bad for countries that deal heavily with China (i.e., America).

In my opinion its a race against the clock for America and China. Had America not gotten itself involved in multi-front war in the Middle East, I would have put my money on us coming out on top. But now, China just needs to build their economy so that if a revolution does occur their economy won't crumble.

It will be interesting to watch.

In China, however, the problem takes on a frightfully larger scope when "son preference" meets the notorious One Child policy

It was the One Child Policy that brought about "son preference" you moranic reporter.

The days of more men = more success in a militaristic manner are gone. High kills weapons will always keep large armies at bay.

Also

Russia is supplying China with Arms. Until China builds a quality arms technology industry they have to kiss Russia's ass.

and in the case of India.. if India wanted they could start a resource bidding war with China. CHina needs to keep India friendly or at the very least friendly neutral or they are in a serious word of hurt

only folks they could threat with troops are Taiwan, Vietnam, and mongolia

Basically China will fight itself and crumble inwardly. It not going to be very pretty for anyone. Their economy is only strong in appearance, the base is very rocky, and can easily crumble. This is also bad for countries that deal heavily with China (i.e., America).

THIS

and also their supply of near endless young cheap labor is drying out. Factor into that many of these are young rural men who can't get women it will make this more problematic

and when young rural men (with no women prospects) go to work in the urban sectors with many women... rapes and sex crimes will go up. as will Kidnappings

It means china's police will have more crime to deal with and less oppressing of dissent.

their banking system is a terrible mess... and if anything stops their economic growth rate right now tens of millions of people will become unemployed. if that stacks China could VERY easily have with their labor force have enough unemployed people to repeat Mao's revolution.

In my opinion its a race against the clock for America and China. Had America not gotten itself involved in multi-front war in the Middle East, I would have put my money on us coming out on top. But now, China just needs to build their economy so that if a revolution does occur their economy won't crumble.

What they need to do (according to a Professor of mine when he talked to their government, and I agree with him) is work on developing a good quality domestic consumption market.

karasoth: Their are lots of interesting connotations to this article (which I happen to be putting into a paper)

A lot of the development of China today is owed to Ethnic Chinese firms from abroad (Singapore, Taiwan, "Hong Kong", The US, Etc)

I think on the upper end of the society this will play into some interesting cross border dynamics

Bottom end of society. Well it depends on where the rural Chinese are. I am pretty sure some Mongolians and Koreans might be willing to do this. Which makes ethnic policies in china very interesting.

HOWEVER if these kids aren't married off they end up having to provide solitary support for parents and perhaps aunts and uncles unless China seriously Upgrades their social welfare policies for the elderly (thus farking over their growth strategies)



if you can only have one child, then that child will not have brothers or sisters. That means no aunts or uncles in the next generation. That in turn means no cousins. no extendid families. All of these children will be more conected to their schoolmates and to the state than to thier families.

Yes, of course. Though 8 out of 10 is a hoe wielding farmer. So, do us all a favor and don't get all, "They'll follow us home if we don't kill 'em in their lead ridden paint shops!" on us. Just go sit in your fallout shelter for a few years, and we'll take care of the situation up above.

forresttriax

Filial Piety is (debatably mind you) still a major factor. These kids are wanting to care for their parents. Just if they end up having to take care of both of their parents and both of their wive's parents they think thats nuts

to give you an idea of what we are talking about in the current population the number of folks who need some form of elder care is in the neighborhood of almost 200 Million. that number by 2030 will be nearly 700 Million. and China's population by then will in theory being contracting. and by then it will LIKELY be as big or bigger then their labor force

If China and India ever come to blows it'll eventually be with mushroom clouds. You have one country that is predominantly atheist going up against another country that predominantly believes if you die you get to come back for a do-over.

Your only change to beat India is to have campers at all the spawn points and who wants to be a c4mp3r f4990t?

China has a small load of american Debt and the stop buying it

the intrest on their american debt pays for all the bad bank loans their government writes to keep firms going which employ in the neighborhood of 70% of the population

None of those funds exist MASSIVE collapse of government unemployment levels occur

btw FYI the VAST percentage of our Government debt is owned by... THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Jubeebee: soze: Jubeebee: soze: India has the same problem.

Should be fun watching the war break out between the two in the next ten to twenty years.

That would be interesting with the Himalayas in the way.


That's the kicker. Americans would probably only care about it if it interrupted filming of a reality show on Mt. Everest of some douchebag rich tourists.

I'm not questioning American lack of interest, I'm questioning how they're going to move tank columns through the mountains.

It seems if India and China ever do come to blows, it'll be exclusively with air and missile strikes. Moving an invasion force over the Himalayas seems like an elaborate form of suicide.


Maybe you'd like to read up on their last war that occurred 45 years ago.

It'll show you what the next one may be like--only this time there will be the threat of nukes.

Ha ha. They screwed themselves on this one. Think of how it will be in 20 years. You'll have India and China brimming with sex crazed guys who might just have to get-in-the-pile to ease their sexual frustrations. Then their societies will collapse because skilled workers will age without being able to replace themselves due to lack of offspring.

Correct. The Chinese (this being the government and citizens of China) own only 4% of our debt.

Where they do have us by the short and curlies is their dollar reserves. I've heard it's something like $1.4 trillion. Part of what makes the US dollar as valuable as it is (I know you're laughing, but it is still worth something) is the fact so many nations hold it as a reserve currency. China could liquidate their dollar holdings and drop the USD to point where it's on par with the Mexican peso.
